Kerpen

Wine growing has been in our family for eight generations or almost 250 years. Over this period, wine has been our life and for just as long, we have been striving to create the maximum pleasure from what nature can produce. But this also requires passion, knowledge and skill. These have ensured and continue to ensure that a vineyard like ours is built up, managed and developed over eight generations to be passed on to the next generation. Thus, wine is and remains the home and the future of our vineyard.
